High-Heeled Success

Did you know today is National High Heel Day? 👠

Honestly, I’m convinced the world created this day just for me! 😂

Rebranding my company in 2012 as High-Heeled Success was one of the best decisions I ever made. What started as a name became something so much bigger — a symbol of helping women rise above workplace barriers, own their value, and step boldly into success.

What amazes me most is that not a week goes by without someone sending me a photo, gift, ornament, mug, pair of shoes, or some other high-heel-inspired surprise. Every single one reminds me that the message stuck. It tells me that the work of empowering women to overcome disadvantages in the workplace is being remembered — and shared.

Here are just a few of the fun and meaningful high-heel treasures people have sent my way over the years. ❤️

To every woman continuing to climb, lead, influence, and succeed — keep walking tall. 👠✨

Wednessday Wisdom! Consider this wise quote from Sheryl Sandberg: “I want every little girl who's told she's bossy to be told instead she has leadership skills.”

In 2026, women in the workplace are still navigating the fine line between being perceived as “too much” and being recognized as effective leaders. Too often, direct communication, decisiveness, and ambition are labeled differently in women than in men.

The reality? Leadership requires vision, confidence, influence, and the courage to speak up — not permission to stay small.

Women who step into leadership today are redefining what authority, presence, and impact look like for the next generation. Every time a woman owns her voice, advocates for her ideas, or takes her seat at the table, she creates a wider path for others to do the same. This Wednesday, rethink the labels.
“Bossy” may simply be leadership waiting to be recognized. If you were called a bossy girl and it's paid off, would love for you to comment here!
